Guild Wars 2

Since the new TP was introduced I noticed two areas of the TP that are interactive dead zones where the mouse cannot interact with the listings.

Dead zones are not active until a trade window is brought up and dismissed.

Updated info on cause

• I’ve found that the cause is that the scroll bar elements of the trade window’s buy and sell listings do not get dismissed with the closing of the item trade info window.

Once any item trade window is displayed and closed, the dead zones becomes apparent and remain until the TP is closed and reopened or the user switches to the gem store/currency exchange tabs and back to the TP.

They will return once again whenever an item trade window is brought up and dismissed…so pretty much always active for people looking at the current prices on a lot of listings.

These areas are dead zones on the entire BLTP no matter which listings you are viewing in any of the available tabs: ‘Home’ , ‘Buy Items’, ‘Sell Items’, and ‘My Transactions’

Gem store and currency exchange do not have this dead zone.

Dead zones are present in both standard and ‘Gnashblade’ modes.

Reproduction:

• Open TP
• Select any tab to display some item listings (or items already displayed on the Home tab)
• Click on any listing to make the trade window pop up
• Close this trade window via ‘X’ or clicking outside the window
• Dead zones are now active

The listing no longer being highlighted while moving your mouse slowly around these areas is a dead giveaway that you found the right areas.

Sounds like a <div> which gets fully transparent visually but not removed from code.

Messed around with looking at what was causing it a bit more and updated the OP and pic with it.

The cause of this dead zone is that the scroll bar interaction element of the trade window’s sell listings does not get dismissed with the closing of the item trade info window. This element remaining causes the dead zone.

Should have noticed sooner that the dead zone was the same size and in the same position as the scroll bar of the item window’s sell listings. Kind of annoyed at myself for not making the connection right away. grr :\

Lol, a bit of topic though but could you tell how you do that “Gnashblade mode”? I have heard about it but I wasn’t been able to make it happen (even thought it could be a hoax) and now seeing your pic I see it’s real.

About the issue, I tell you I have stumbled across it a few times too but I never realized what it was. I just thought it was a glitch then I never gave any attention to it.

Sure. Go to your TP and enter or paste this case-sensitive phrase into the Search box in the top left above the search categories/bags:

I am Evon Gnashblade

Note the lowercase ‘a’ in “am”. Each other word starts with a capital letter.
Upon entering the final letter ‘e’ at the end of “Gnashblade” you’ll switch to the smaller listing view.

Enter it again to return to normal view mode.

Hmm I see, maybe I made a mistake with capitalization, hehe. Btw, is it permanent or does it stay that way only for the current session (until TP is closed)?

Just realized that the scroll bar element from the buy order listings does not disappear as well as the scrollbar element from the sell listings. So there are two areas that are dead zones.

It has been about a month. Just in case it was missed by the appropriate devs and was not seen and added to get fixed, I’ll add this one note to say that this is still an issue.

I look forward to seeing this very quick and easy fix being made in the future. Thank you.

Ugh, sorry this slipped through. Working on this now.

Thank you very much for taking the time to note that you are aware of this issue and will be tackling it. I really appreciate it. I look forward to no longer "Grr"ing at my screen due to the constant encounters with this during my tradings.

As an update, this issue was fixed today when the laggy TP UI fix was implemented.

Thank you very much!
